    Hello mishlohof,

    The geo-location on computers depends on the IP addresses provided by the ISP, which makes it possible to identify the location via the computer. However, it is not possible on mobile phones except on the country code of the phone number. Although JotForm does not have any widget that returns such information (country code).

    A quite-relevant widget available is a field where a user can choose the country code of his phone number: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/international_telephone_picker  

    If you have more questions, please do let us know.

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, no. Locating a person via mobile phone is not possible. You can only know the country where the user is from, but not the actual location. 

    Thanks.

    Hello again, mishlohof.

    Just a thought that I might have missed something. I was focused on the phone number when I realized that by enabling GPS, a user can be located so there are certain widgets available which you might be able to make use for your form:

    1) http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/gps_location

    2) http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/address_map_locator

    3) http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/geocomplete

    These widgets will provide means on how to locate a user using his mobile phone.

    Hope this information helps.
